The battle of Qinzhou, which was concerned by all parties, came to an end overnight.

The news spread quickly, and the world was in an uproar.

Everyone can understand and accept that other states and counties have been breached, after all, the defenders are only a few thousand people, but Qinzhou has 100,000 troops stationed, with abundant food and grass, and sufficient supplies, why was it defeated, and it was defeated so quickly?

The major families sent people to Qinzhou to inquire about the news, while secretly holding clan meetings, re-examining the current situation, discussing countermeasures, and preparing to stand in line.

As soon as Qinzhou is broken, the Hanzhou army will be able to drive straight into Chang'an for a long time, and the general trend has been achieved, and it will not work if you don't stand in line, and the further you stand in line, the less benefits you have.

The reason why the family can be inherited for thousands of years is that it is good at standing in line.

Qin Huaidao also knew the Dao in this, and after taking Qinzhou, he was not in a hurry to attack, but stopped in Qinzhou and gave some people time, anyway, Qinzhou has grain and grass, and it takes time to digest it by recruiting nearly 100,000 people.

If you want to do things quickly, you can't do it!

……

A strange atmosphere permeated the entire Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to ignore the major events related to the change of dynasty.

Three days passed before I knew it.

This day is gloomy, sultry and unbearable, a mountain rain is about to come, Luoyang City is a little more solemn than before, the defenders on the city wall have significantly doubled, and the people at each city gate are also much stricter.

Ziwei City, Dayi Palace.

Li Tai leaned his back against the soft collapse, staring gloomily at the Taiwei Lu Chengqing, who was reporting the battle report of Qinzhou, and his heart was full of anger, 100,000 people were gone, and he died in battle, and he actually threw himself into the Han Dynasty, isn't this aiding the abuse and boosting the opponent's strength?

There are so many food and grass supplies, isn't this an enemy?

Originally, Li Tai thought that the Hanzhou army was killing all the way, and the grain and grass were unsustainable, even if the states were taken, the supply was limited, and the army would retreat after a long time, but with Qinzhou, it was different if it was not in a hurry, not to mention that it also took the rear Qizhou, and the grain and grass materials were no less than Qinzhou, and there was no logistics worry, how could the army retreat?

It's time for Chang'an next, right?

Thinking of this, Li Tai's anger became stronger and stronger, and after waiting for Taiwei Lu Chengqing to finish his report, he said coldly: "Taiwei Lu, you promised me at the beginning, saying that Qinzhou is foolproof. ”

The tone was cold, revealing inexplicable murderous intent.

Li Tai, who had already mastered the Luoyang army and most of the new army, was no longer a puppet, and his waist was stiff.

Lu Chengqing is also very angry in his heart, he hates his brother to death, whether he dies or is captured, you have burned the materials in the city, burned, you can still go around, what should I do now?

At this moment, Lu Chengqing inexplicably had a feeling of not being used up and being abandoned, if he hadn't stood up to preside over the overall situation and stabilize the army, why would Li Tai have a good life?

Now that the wings are stiff, they will be thrown away when they are used up? Why?

A resentment surged in the bottom of his heart, but he was born in a family, he had already practiced the city government, and he knew how to forbear, so he did not show his thoughts, but had a panicked expression: "The saint atonements, the minister deserves to die!" ”

"You deserve to die, I handed over an army of 100,000 to you, and you repay me like this?" Li Tai bared his fangs, stared at Lu Chengqing coldly, and scolded angrily.

Without waiting for Lu Chengqing to defend, Li Tai continued to scold: "Qinzhou collapsed overnight, how is this possible? Unless there is an internal response, could it be that your brother Lu Chenghe acted a good show to deceive me, but in fact, he took refuge in the King of Han with a large army and a city full of grain and grass materials, right? ”

"This ...... Holy Lord, this is absolutely impossible, please Holy See. Lu Chengqing was taken aback.

"Discerning? Of course, I have to be clear, you can explain to me that the Hanzhou army was only besieged, why did the city break overnight? Even if someone opens the city gates, as long as the 100,000 troops in the city resist desperately, they can fight and lose, but what is the result? Li Tai asked coldly.

Lu Chengqing didn't know the inside story and couldn't answer.

Li Tai continued coldly: "The result is that the Hanzhou army is unscathed, and the 100,000 army has been absorbed, and it is impossible for my spies to be wrong in the secret report, and it is impossible for the military report you are holding in your hand to be wrong, so you explain to me that it is not thrown at the King of Han, what is it?" ”

"This ......"

Lu Chengqing couldn't argue, but there was no sufficient reason, and this could not be whitewashed.

"What, don't you speak?"

Li Tai will not let go of such a good opportunity to suppress, the truth is not important, the important thing is to take this opportunity to bring down Lu Chengqing, the imperial lieutenant, and absolutely control the military power of the imperial court, and shouted coldly: "Taiwei Lu, it won't be that you saw that the imperial court was weak, and secretly instructed your brother to defect to the King of Han and seek more ways for your Lu family, right?" Your family is really good at taking sides. ”

"Holy Lord, the minister is wronged!"

"Still quibbling!"

Li Tai suddenly raised his voice, not ready to give Lu Chengqing a chance to defend himself, and shouted loudly: "Someone." ”

A general of the internal guard rushed in.

"Captain Lu is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so he entered the prison, searched his mansion, and found evidence of collaborating with the enemy, and there must be no mistake." Li Tai said coldly, full of hints.

"Yes!"

The commander of the internal guard is Li Tai's confidant, where do you not know how to do it? took Lu Chengqing and walked out.

If Lu Chengqing didn't know that he had been completely abandoned and became an outcast, he would be a fool, but what could he do? The general trend has gone, his face is pale, and before leaving, he glanced at Li Tai deeply and didn't say anything.

Li Tai saw the resentment and unwillingness in Lu Chengqing's eyes, and snorted coldly, but it was just fish meat on the eucalyptus board, and he didn't care about how to slaughter a word.

An hour later.

An internal guard hurriedly came in and sent a statistical list of materials for copying the house, more than 5 million yuan of silver, 300,000 stones of grain, countless treasures and antiques, more than 10,000 acres of land deeds, three house deeds, all of which were large mansions with four entrances, as well as more than a dozen shops, all kinds of precious medicinal materials, and countless cloths.

Looking at this list, Li Tai's eyes straightened, he was richer than himself, in just over a year, a family that was almost broken had accumulated so much wealth in an instant, greedy and ruthless enough.

Endless anger welled up in my heart.

At this moment, Li Tai suddenly remembered why his father wanted to target the family everywhere in the first place, he was too rich, how could he be greedy for so many people?

Li Tai doesn't really care if the people can survive, but if the people can't survive, they will rebel, and they will be separated from the court, so they have to care.

"Bastard, damn it!"

Li Tai scolded, furious, and suddenly thought of Kong Yingda, that old man is afraid that he is more greedy, but there is a saint standing behind him, and if he moves, it will make the world's scholars angry, now is the extraordinary period of the war with the King of Han, and he can't move for the time being, so he can only keep it for the future.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Li Tai became, and he shrunk his clothes and dieted, these people were actually greedy for ink, rich and rivaling the country, and it was difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he didn't kill.

"Someone!" Li Tai suddenly shouted.

"In!" The commander of the internal guard replied solemnly.

"Ship all the confiscated grain to Chang'an, and then bring three million pieces of silver over, let General Xiong personally lead people to escort him, rush overnight, non-stop, be sure to send it within two days, stay in the army, tell the general manager of the march in Chang'an, be sure to carefully study the reasons for the failure of the first battle in Qinzhou, do a good job of defense, do not go out of the city to fight, defend to the death, consume the king of Han, and afterwards I named him the general of the auxiliary country, go!"

"Yes!" The Commander of the Internal Guard hurried away.
